Hello,
I have a very strange behaviour in a data step that looks like this:
data one (keep= a b x y z)
two (keep= a b z t)
three (keep = a b c);
set input_data; /* This data set contains all variables above */
select (a); /* A is an integer variable */
when (1) do;
b=2;
output one;
end;
when (2) do;
b=3;
output two;
end;
otherwise b=1;
end;
put "a:" a "b:" b;
output three;
run;
The values of a and b displayed in the log file via "put" are ok, but these values are somehow not written in the dataset three, which seems to keep the original values from the input_data table. I am afraid to be missing something very basic here, but I really cannot put the finger on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Andrés
Ok, problem solved. The problem was actually somewhere else
